The State University.

It is supposed by some people in
this State that the University, under its
new management, is to receive quite an
impetus. The people of Elko Co.
would wish it to become AN efficient in.
stitution of learning, and occupy the
prominent place designated for it by its
warmest supporters. But while admir-
ing the energetic steps taken by its
enthusiastic principal, we must express
oar hearty disHpproval of one or two
actions in regard to it, taken by the
State Board of Education.
A University il intended to supple
ment the work of the Public Schools.
But it seems now that the inteDtion is
to build up the University at the ez-
pensc of the Public Schools.
In recent issue of the r. no Gazette,
that blooming" journal, there was set
forth n sort OF prospectus of the Uni
versity work. The normal drpa rtment
ia to be made prominent. 1t il the
design to take In girls, who are far from
completing the ordinary Public School
course, form them into normal class
Dam them for a year or 80, and then,
without requiring them to pass any
regular exclamation, invest them with
State life certiHcatea OF the fifst grade,
before they have ever Taught term Of
school. The idea is a new one, perfect
~ scsndaious, and is sure t. be a
disastrous measure to the Public Schools
of this State. The enervnting effect
will, be manifold. In at least three
counties in this State, the Superinten
dents are working strenuously for the
inproyement Of. the schools. They are
raising the grade Of the schools by
raising the standard Of examinations
for teachers. This new Measure which
will grant certificates to any inexper-
l noed person who. ..worthily. com.
ple'es" the short normal course at the
University, will effectually tie the hands
OF the County Superintendent. and
virtually destroy their office. It will
flood the country, not With experienced
teachers. hat with girls holding certifi-
o.tes. Think OF young lady Of
seventeen Possessiug lifs certificate Of
the fret grade, with the privilege of az
perimenting in any coun y of the State !

Comptroller Turner and Treasurer
Archer on July 1st, exchanged nearly
$500, 900 worth OF state bonds of the loan
of 1872, which had matured. These bonds
were paying the holders six per cent in
terest and they were exchanged tor bonds
bearing but three per cent. The total
amount OF the 1872 loan is $3.50. 600.
The treasury officials will dispose of the
remaining portion of the loan, over $780,
600 worth of bonds, to the highest bidder.
Advertisement for sealed proposals will be
shortly published. Comptroller Turner
apprehends no difficulty in floating" The
bonds, aud even thinks the treasury
officials may reasonably expect them to

Among the holders exchanging the bonds
was the Savings Bank OF Baltimore City,
which had $257, i25 worth of them. Sixty
